Discussed less for her political comments and more for her beauty, Maryam Nawaz faced the same situation even during her son’s wedding functions. While good-looking, she is just one of those people who get trolled a lot. These people do not imagine such an adverse reaction for something they would consider normal but often, it doesn’t sit well with the masses.

Junaid Safdar Wedding functions

Maryam Nawaz’s handsome son who recently became the nation’s crush that too at one of his wedding functions does not seem to be getting married simple. It seems like he has these never-ending wedding functions whose pictures just keep surfacing. Anyway, what we are guessing to be Junaid’s mehendi event, Maryam Nawaz donned a blue dress. She must have imagined the blue to not downplay the bride who weirdly went with red. However, to stand distinctive, the blue overflowed with expensive work.

She did indeed look pretty but in the pictures that she shared where she is standing with her son, she does not even look older than him. People even said that she looked more like she was the bride herself.

Meanwhile, videos and pictures of Junaid’s wife show her to be dressed as incredibly as she could. But compared to Maryam Nawaz, all her prep seems bland, to be honest.

As we already expected, the trolls sharpened their weapons and jumped into the arena to take some jabs.

Trolls not too happy with Maryam Nawaz

People were not too keen on attacking the politician directly on her Instagram handle. Hence, they chose to troll her on the pictures that were shared by various bloggers. Some acknowledged that Maryam is definitely pretty but the dress was probably not suitable.

Some, like us, wanted to understand the chronology of events because, well, who wouldn’t?

Netizens don’t wait to make pretty harsh comments either. One called the facts out as they were. She said that this looks more like Maryam’s wedding than Junaid’s. Others reprimanded her for stealing the daughter-in-law’s spotlight.

While we may agree to all that (or not), but when it comes to Maryam Nawaz and the spotlight, she doesn’t need to steal it. Junaid’s wife, in fact, should have been forewarned and should brace herself. Why? Because if anything, these comments have told us that this is just the beginning.

Hasan Ali Refuses To Answer Question Put Forward By Journalist

Cricket is one of the most popular sports in the world. In Pakistan, it is the most played and watched game. You might find a cricket fan in nearly every household here. Many people have an interest in cricket since a young age, developing into a passion later on. The T20 World Cup was quite impressive, especially with Pakistan having a ‘No Loss’ streak. When the dust settled in the semi-finals, we went home to prep for the next T20 World Cup. While no one was to blame for the loss, people tried to pin it on Hasan Ali, including journalists making personal comments.

Twitter was full of support for Hasan Ali. However, on the other end, some people were bashing the player. They made some personal attacks towards him when the match had ended. This is considered quite unprofessional behavior, especially when you are representing an organization. Now, when the journalist appeared in a conference interview of Hasan Ali, he refused to answer any of his questions!

Hasan Ali Interview Conference

The conference interview went by quite well. Hasan Ali had responded to each person correctly, answering all questions. However, when this journalist began to pose a question, the cricketer requested the next question. This was a move on his end to stop the person from asking any questions. The journalist then began to further pester him on how he should answer. To this, Hasan responded by bringing up the personal attacks that were done on Twitter.

We find this as quite an impressive move by the cricketer. It shows how he should not succumb to people who wish to smudge his name on social media. No matter how much you resent someone, you cannot attack them on a personal level. You can make a professional statement and act similarly but personal levels are off-limits.

Slamming The Journalist

As seen in the video, the cricketer got quite enraged and frustrated while conversing with the interviewer. The clip has gathered quite a lot of people on Twitter, praising Hasan for the way he acted towards the interviewer. One cannot attack people personally and then expect them to answer their questions. If one wishes to have a good interview, one has to treat the other person with respect.

That said, we are not sure of what question was going to be asked by the journalist so we cannot speculate or state anything here.

Alizeh Shah Falls On The Ramp At Bridal Couture Week

It seems the bad luck of Alizeh Shah won’t leave her side! Not only was the upcoming actress recently heavily criticised, now she faced the most embarrassing event while walking on the ramp. Have you seen what happened? It’s every show-stopper/model’s nightmare!

What Was Going On?

Alizeh Shah was walking the ramp for a designer on Bridal Couture Week, day 3. The actress was decked in a heavy bridal dress in shades of off-white and golden. We can just guess already the dress weighs at least 5 KGS! Moreover, she was also elaborately made up with carefully curled hair and a matha patti! We love the look for sure and believe it sits very well for the rising star.

What Happened?

Shazia Manzoor had also made an appearance on the ramp and was singing with her legendary voice. Like other artists who come onto the ramp to sing, the singer was being her most entertaining self. In doing so, she kept making Alizeh Shah go round and round until… She fell!

A post shared by VeryFilmi (@veryfilmi)

 Alizeh Shah eventually fell because she was being dragged in such heavy clothes. Even after she did fall and Shazia Manzoor picked her up, Shazia Manzoor continued squeezing her and lifting her in the air. A bit absurd no?

What Are People Saying?

The people are extremely annoyed and irritated by the indecency of the people and it also seems unprofessional. Is it a fashion show or a children’s ground where two people are squeezing each other and lifting them in the air? Have a look at what people said:

Should Actors Be Made Showstoppers?

By making actors showstoppers, models are severely undermined. It is the work and also the achievement of professional models to become showstoppers. Instead of giving them the opportunity, actors are brought in who have no experience whatsoever.

These actors can be sent the clothes for PR perhaps but calling them on the ramp does nothing amazing. Instead, it might even take away from the clothes a little because no one can carry themself the way a model can.

Jazz Drive-In Concert Sets New Guinness World Record

By
Web Desk
-

Islamabad – 12 December 2021: The Jazz Drive-in Concert has set a new Guinness World Records™ title for the most cars in a Drive-in Music Concert with 1000+ cars. Pakistan’s first ever drive-in concert was organized by Jazz, in collaboration with Active Media at Park View City, Islamabad.

To set the record, more than 1000 cars had to be at the venue for the entire duration of the concert. Cameras were installed across the venue at locations suggested by the Guinness World Records’ supervisors, which allowed them to periodically count the cars in attendance at the event.

“Creating a new world record is a wonderful achievement for us all and it’s heartening to see the enthusiasm shown by the residents of the twin cities to be part of this momentous occasion. As the nation’s lifestyle brand, the idea behind Jazz’s series of drive-in events was to provide Pakistanis alternate entertainment avenues in the new normal,” said Asif Aziz, Chief Commercial Officer, Jazz.

The major attractions at the drive-in concert included a star-studded lineup featuring Atif Aslam, Ali Azmat, and Bilal Khan, and one of the grandest fireworks show ever witnessed in the country. Concertgoers were provided space to park their vehicles in an orderly manner, so they could enjoy the concert from the comfort and safety of their vehicles. JazzCash offered discounts on tickets and a 25 percent discount on food stalls when paid via JazzCash QR Code.

Pakistan is thoroughly enjoying the return to normalcy with huge events, be it concerts or food festivals. However, the most recent food festival in Islamabad, TastePlus, went horribly wrong and it also resulted in Atif Aslam doing something very shocking. Here’s what went down:

The Event

This event in Islamabad was one of many food festivals being held. It was called TastePLUS and it took place over the past weekend. The event expectedly hosted over 10,000 people and as can be seen, by the videos, it was not enjoyable at all. Even though huge singers like Mustafa Zahid and Atif Aslam were booked for the crowd, the event could not be salvaged.

What Happened?

The event practically turned into a riot. This was especially unfortunate because people had waited for the event for a long time and Atif Aslam left only 5 minutes into the performance. The video shows that a girl who was harassed came onto the stage as she was crying and she spoke to Atif Aslam about what happened. Thereafter, the singer conferred with his management and walked off the stage.

Have a look at the video here:

The Growing Harassment In Public Events

These public events are showing the incredibly concerning wildness with which men throng themselves onto women. All these events are turning into huge stampedes, riots, and harassment hotspots as stags find a way to enter nonetheless. 

The recent RhythmFest in Lahore was also no different. With no strict control over drugs and alcohol, the event was a disaster, to say the least.

Have a look at the tweets:

What Do We Need More Of?

We genuinely need more people like Atif Aslam who refuse to be associated with such events. Moreover, his walking out would definitely have hurt the organizers which will force them to take better measures next time.

We also need more events that have separate spaces for women only, for families, and then for stags. Can families and women no longer enjoy any public event?

In a recent clip posted by Ahsan Khan, Nadia Hussain is getting trolled while talking about dealing with the trolls. Nadia Hussain appeared at the talk show, Timeout with Ahsan Khan. Khan captured a short clip of Nadia and posted it on social media. Meanwhile, it seems like that the actress saw it coming and made sure to say what was on her mind.

Nadia Hussain’s Outfit 

People were quick to comment on what the actress/model was wearing on the set. The post caught netizens’ eyes by mentioning how vulgar her outfit looked. They even mentioned how people would keep trolling her if she continued doing the same.

In a clip, Ahsan asked Nadia a heated question, which is, “What is your message for the trollers?”

The question seems entirely appropriate given that the former model is known for her blunt remarks and knows how to shut down the trolls. In response to the question, Nadia replied,

“They must learn some ethics or else will be treated the same way. We ignore sometimes, but everyone must know that we know how to handle the comments.”

Take a look at the clip below.

Netizens React

What caught the netizen’s eye is not what the actress is saying but what she is wearing.

9 Ways Blink Is Revolutionising Online Retail For Brands

By
Web Desk

blink

Blink Co. Technologies, a VC-funded B2B SaaS company, has taken the market by storm with Blink – a quick-commerce technology stack for brands that need a direct online ordering platform. The young startup scaled across five countries in only its first year of operations.

Blink is a revolutionary product with a myriad of capabilities that empower brands, of which the core ones are discussed in this article.

Data ownership

Aggregators and other third-party platforms generate sales for brands. However, brands are unaware of who their customers are. Conversely, Blink gives brands complete ownership of data on customers, orders, and financials, enabling them to make data-driven decisions, target promotions to the right customers, and obtain customer feedback among other things.

Affordable plug-and-play technology

Conventionally, brands have their own websites and mobile apps developed which is both costly and time-consuming. On the other hand, Blink equips brands with a comprehensive, ready-to-use quick commerce stack – a mobile app, a website, a merchant portal, a fleet management portal, and a delivery app – without the technical hassle

Branded user interfaces

Having a direct online ordering platform means that businesses have their own user interfaces fronted by their brand logos. This creates their digital identities, paving ways for them to gain brand-focused online traction.

Direct customer engagement

Technology that stores customer data allows brands to communicate directly with their customers, and personalise their experiences. Moreover, brands are better able to understand their customers’ concerns, get candid feedback, resolve complaints, run targeted promotions and gain customer insights, all of which drive customer delight, retention, and acquisition.

30-second order placement

Blink’s cutting-edge technology ensures that users enjoy a quick and seamless ordering experience. On average, an order is placed within 30 seconds of submission on a Blink-powered website and mobile app – that is almost instantaneous for the user, rendering better ratings on software review websites.

Same-day deliveries

Time-optimised deliveries lie at the core of Blink’s quick commerce enablement capabilities. Multi-location brands are equipped with Google Maps geofencing to fulfill orders from the customer’s nearest branch instead of dispatching from a single location. Parallel to this, riders are able to navigate customers’ exact locations using Google Maps in-app anytime, anywhere within minutes.

Business intelligence reporting

Data-driven decision-making has become an increasingly important driver of business growth. Brands that use Blink receive system-generated statistics in a dynamic dashboard backed by a Microsoft Power BI integration in the merchant portal. Data drill-downs by time frames, customer, product, branch, city, payment method, and more are available with the click of a button.

Multiple integrated capabilities

Unlike e-commerce platforms, Blink has outdone other players in its niche with a set of core payment, communication, and logistics integrations. These include Visa, Mastercard, Checkout, Stripe, and Pay2M for online payments, E.Ocean for SMS campaigns, and Bykea for third-party logistics among others.

Real-time fleet tracking

Blink’s customers can opt for the end-to-end fleet management system to manage deliveries in-house. The system allows visibility of rider attendance, two-step rider assignment, and real-time rider tracking all in one window on a user-friendly delivery portal.

With a state-of-the-art quick commerce solution such as Blink on offer, brands in Pakistan and beyond have the opportunity to achieve hypergrowth.

Shaan Asks PM Imran Khan To Ban Indian Content

In recent news, veteran actor Shaan appealed to PM Imran Khan to ban content from across the border. Turning to his Twitter this week, the Khuda Ke Liye star appealed to PM Khan to ban Indian content and ‘protect’ the borders from foreign singers, music, and movies.

“ImranKhanPTI pls protect the cultural borders of Pakistan.. no Indian origin film should be released in Pakistan. As India has banned all the Pakistani content including singers artists film and music.. respect and equality must be a pivotal part on any trade,” tweeted Shaan on Saturday.

India Bans Pakistani Content 

After India has decided to ban all Pakistani artists and content, actor Shaan requests PM to do the same. Action must be taken to safeguard and protect our culture and content.

In response to the tweet, netizens replied to his request. One user commented that how cinema owners suffer when Indian films are banned due to the lack of local content, and that the responsibility of creating good content then rests on the shoulders of local filmmakers and actors. In response to the tweet, Shaan commented about the lack of investment in Pakistani cinema. He wrote,

“Then let’s import other stuff as well that we don’t find in Pakistan. That’s not how countries and nations are built. We must support and make our products world class and that cannot happen unless we have patriotic investors.”

He added further in a separate reply, “A cinema is a retail outlet. They should be the first ones to invest in the infrastructure of films so [their] supply [doesn’t] dry out. It’s like opening a restaurant without a kitchen.”

Another user wrote, “Don’t be afraid of your competition! Improve your content first. Except Pakistan, the entire Muslim world is showing Indian films. The 70s, 80s and 90s PTV set example how they beat Doordarshan at that time only due to their superior content.”

The actor then mentioned how his point is not banning the content but giving their own content and artists the respect they deserve. The actor asserted, “We are not afraid of the competition, they are. That’s why they have banned our artists and content. My point is respect and patriotism.”

Another user agreed with the actor’s point. He wrote, “In the times when the world is already full of hate and barriers, let’s talk about bridging the gaps and taking the barriers down. Let’s strive to make them reciprocate with love in the form of shared arts both (love and arts) of which know no bounds.”

In response, the actor simply stated, “In an ideal world, sure. But, in reality, not possible.”

Every time there is a big smartphone release scheduled, the rumors make their way into the market. One cannot simply stop the spread of them because they are like wildfire. If a person wants to know details about a device before its release, they may come across quite a lot of information. When Samsung wishes to release a device, they make sure the relevant hype is around it. When the S21 was about to hit the stores, everyone wanted to be a part of it. Just like that, the S22 Ultra has garnered quite a lot of attention.

It seems that, according to a confidential report released by Apple, the phone name might not be the one we expect it to be. In fact, the name might be changing to yet another flagship series that we are familiar with. While that does come as a surprise, it is a pleasant surprise. The smartphone itself has impressive specifications and a long waiting list for people wanting to buy.

Samsung S22 Ultra Rumor

As said, this news was mentioned out of a confidential report. According to it, The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is going to be released under another name. They might just be calling it the S22 Note! Yes, the name of the upcoming ultra variant is going to be that of a Note. We have to say that this does align with previous leaks and rumors that were surrounding the phone. These included the note similar shape as well as the S-Pen configuration. It certainly is good news for fans of the series and everyone else alike!

In further detail, the base S22 variant and the S22+ are expected to come with 8GB ram, with two storage options. Yes, these options extend to 128GB and 256GB. However, the ultra variant is going to have 12GB ram, and if you wish to go higher, 16GB ram and 512GB storage. It seems the smartphone lines just keep getting stronger and better with Samsung.

A New Smartphone

There are still a few weeks to go before the expected launch is to happen. However, with the information we have received, we feel quite content that this is going to be a worthy release. Not only is it going to appeal to android fans but fans of iOS may take a glance in this direction as well. As far as the processing power is concerned, it is yet to be confirmed as well as some of the battery-related features.

Let us see how the news evolves over the coming weeks.

Is ‘Playstation Now’ Soon Coming To Mobile Devices?

Sony Playstation now was expected on mobile by Apple

Sony has been one of the front runners for gaming console development for a long time. No matter who released a gaming console, a Playstation was always considered the top one in any genre. When the PS2 was released to the world, it was considered a revolution. Sony did a massive jump in gaming that had never been done before. This happened every time Sony decided to release a gaming console. Amidst all this, Apple came upon information in a confidential report. According to that report, Sony had planned to release something on mobile devices. This was something that Sony already had up and running on its console systems.

If they are talking about what we think they are talking about, then Apple meant Sony’s Playstation Now service. According to the details of the report, the service was going to bring more than 400 PS3 titles to smartphones and many more. This was a decision they had, allegedly, planned to take back in 2017. Now, why is Apple interested in this so much? After all, Sony had a steaming service and was planning it for mobile phone but why Apple’s interest in it?

Playstation Now Report

Turns out, Apple wanted to release their own version of this as well. They call it Apple Arcade and they promised quite a lot of titles on it. However, that was not to happen until two years later, when Apple Arcade finally did come out. Despite that, Sony decided to not move forward with that project. With that said, it is interesting to note that, back in 2017, Sony had thought of doing this project for mobile devices, using Playstation Now. It shows how ahead the company is of its time.

While they have understood that they are not going to battle Apple on this front, they are certainly planning something else. It seems that something might come to mobile devices but we are not sure of it yet. What we do know is that Playstation games can still be streamed on Android devices as well as Apple ones. We have yet to see what the future holds in terms of Playstation Now and more.

That said, we hope we get to see Sony’s version of Apple Arcade sooner than later. Who would not want to experience that kind of gaming on a mobile platform? It makes everything quite convenient and easier to access. Who knows, Sony might already be done developing something like this!

This year, the bridal couture week has started in full swing, and we can’t help but swoon over all the looks from the very first day.

The Stunning Duo

Junaid khan and Mansha Pasha are all set to release their new movie. Given that they have been working together for quite some time, the chemistry between the duo was exceptional at BCW.

Lined with shops of desi food items, this part of Lahore is not just pleasant to look at but is the one stop destination for all who want to dive knee deep in to the various food items the city has to offer. I can guarantee that you can find any desi food item that you might be craving for.

MM Alam Road

This is one of the most visited places by people who come from abroad. The reason is simple, from restaurants like Village to Burger King, this road is bordered with cafes that offer people a variety of cuisines. The sheer number of restaurants and shops ensure that this road is always lively and bustling with activity.

Badshahi Mosque

Built by the Mughal Emperor, Aurangzeb in 1764 the stunning architecture is a real treat for all the history enthusiasts. From the moment you step onto the premises, you will be left speechless over the breathtaking details and the grandeur of the mosque. The walls and the roof are lined with intricate designs that only add to the aesthetics of the structural design.

Even when there is little or no wind outside the mosque, the architectural design ensures that there is always a light breeze inside the mosque. To aid the call to prayer the structure has been designed in such a manner that it can be heard throughout the mosque without the use of speakers.

Shahi Qillah

Shahi Qillah is also known as the Lahore Fort and was built in the 11th century by Mehmood of Ghazni. Since then, it stands tall and proud, a perfect reflection of the Muslim might that we once possessed. The Sheesh Mahal (the palace of mirrors) is a major attraction of the Shahi Qillah.

Wagha Border

International_border_at_Wagah_-_evening_flag_lowering_ceremony

This is the one place on the border of Pakistan and India where you can enjoy a remarkable show put on by the soldiers of the two nations, a tradition that is being carried on since 1959. During the flag lowering ceremony in the evening, tourists can enjoy military parades performed by soldiers of both the countries. The patriotic setting, songs and the exercises performed by the soldiers will most definitely have a lasting impact on all those who visit.

Liberty Bazaar

Liberty-Market-Lahore

To satisfy your love of shopping, you need to go and shop at Liberty Bazaar! It is without a doubt the hub of all that is new and trendy in the fashion world in Pakistan. From branded clothes, bags, shoes and accessories to traditional bridal clothes and jewelry, this place will not disappoint the shopaholic in you in any way!

Minar-e-Pakistan

minar-e-pakistan

The massive monument is a sight that you must visit if you are in Lahore. History remembers it as a symbol of promise as it marks the spot where the Lahore Resolution was passed by the All-India Muslim League; a significant step towards Pakistan’s independence. So make sure you take out time to visit this site whenever you visit Lahore.

Bonus tip: There is a double decker bus that picks up and drops tourists at the Qaddafi stadium, takes them through the old Lahore city all the way to Iqbal park, where they can get off and visit the Shahi Qillah, the Badshahi Mosque and Minar-e-Pakistan all for a nominal fee of 200 rupees!

Smartphones have become more common than a lot of things now. While phones may not have been a priority before, they are certainly one now. Despite there being so many brands, all of them have good sales and tough competition. If you decide to go out and buy a smartphone, you might be confused as to which brand to go for. From Apple to Samsung, all the way to realme, Xiaomi, and vivo, the selection is endless. However, there are always phone variants where one is better than the other in one regard or another.

Just like that, there are brands, with impressive cameras, that can outrun vivo smartphones. We are talking about phones that have a similar budget, but with a better camera to this brand. The brand may have other specifications better but we can tell you where the camera stands out!

Combined, this makes the 7i quite a formidable phone to work with. In contrast, the Y33s has a triple camera array, with the main one at 50MP. Alongside this, it has a 2MP macro and 2mp depth sensor.

The realme 7i costs about Rs. 34,000/- whereas the Y33s costs Rs. 38,000/-

The main is at 48MP, with a 2MP macro and 2MP depth sensor. As a result, it stands ahead of the Y30’s quad-camera array because of the better main lens. While the Y30 has a quad array, it might not be able to deliver what the C25s can in a triple array.

It’s Time For Some Pakistani Parents To Unlearn Toxic Behaviour

By

One cannot shy away from the idea that we have to respect our parents. Almost every culture and every religion endorse this. However, in respecting parents, often it happens that the parents start upholding toxic beliefs. Considering our personality and our parenting style reflect how our relationship has been with our parents, it becomes important, teaching Pakistani parents the difference between right parenting and toxicity.

Pakistani parents and invasion of personal space

While parents may come from a place where they do not want their children to be involved in wrongful acts, it is better to not invade their personal space. By this, we surely do not mean that children should be left on their own accord, rather, they should be taught with resolute behavior and then be given only enough free space that they can make their own decision.

Parents are always right

This idea comes from an understanding that since you have lived more than the children, you know more. But here is an interesting fact, in the ever-changing times, the kids of today are better able to attune themselves. Hence, it is actually possible that while you may know more, you may not know everything.

Being a dictator

Our society, unfortunately, has taught parents that the only way they will get revered is if they act like dictators. That is not true. In fact, it distances you from your children. That said, it is okay, if you do not want them to treat you as an equal. Where you stand and where they stand are indeed very different places. But by being a dictator you teach your children that they cannot communicate with you. As a result, even if they start sitting in wrong company, you wouldn’t even know. All the dictatorship would be for nothing, then, wouldn’t it?

Expecting children to fulfill parents’ dreams

In most cases, parents believe the children to be their extension.

“I did not get to study a certain discipline? Fine! My kid will do it.”

“I did not start a business? My child has to.”

“I started a company? My child has to inherit it!”

Parents forget that if they have dreams, their children are full fledged humans too with their own dreams.

Pakistani parents & comparison with others’ children

The worst thing parents do unintentionally is comparing their kids with others in front of them. If you have been following the ongoing drama, Hum Kahan Kay Sachay Thay, this is beautifully shown in it. When you needlessly compare your children with their friends or cousins, they develop insecurities. You may be doing it with the intention of encouraging them, but it takes a wrong turn really.

Android has become one of the most extensive operating systems out there. It gives the user quite a lot of control and allows them to work freely without obstacles. Despite there being some security concerns, the OS keeps releasing updates to ensure a breach does not occur. Just like that, gaming on Android phones is quite widespread. People consider it the best handheld platform for gaming. However, now it seems that their games are going to be making their way to windows soon too!

In recent news, it came to light that Android was willing to expand its base of games. You must be aware of how popular some of the mobile games are. The communities behind PUBG Mobile and Call Of Duty Mobile are so huge, we may find ourselves shocked at the size of them. Not just that, but the amount of android games that are released each month is staggering on its own. To have that game base enter the windows domain is an impressive achievement.

Android Games Incoming

According to sources, a Google Play games application is coming to Windows in 2022. Through that, users will be able to play android games on their laptops, PCs, and tablets. This gives the google play store a wider range to expand their domain. Gaming is not something that should be restricted to a single audience. Making these games cross-platform is only going to increase the traffic and revenue on them. In fact, it is fun to play cross-platform because there are so many more players.

Gaming Progression

That said, we hope this development brings a huge player base to both platforms. It will always be fun to play new games when they are released. It is even more fun to play them with friends who do not have the same devices you do. That is the best part about cross-platform. You can now have a smartphone and be able to play with someone who has a laptop!

Sales Tax Exemption To Be Retained On Electric Vehicle Imports By Govt

Do you ever wonder what an electric vehicle drive feels like? It must be quieter and smoother than combustion engine ones. You know there is no engine block so there must be more space. Additionally, the lighter weight but sturdier body also means a long-range for the vehicle. There are many qualities about them that make a person purchase an electric vehicle. However, if there is a sales tax on its import in Pakistan, it can turn out to be quite expensive. To make sure that does not happen, the government has decided something.

This decision may prove to be quite fruitful for us in the long term. In fact, it has quite a lot of hidden benefits as well. In recent news, the sales tax on the import of electric vehicles had been exempted. That resulted in more people purchasing them because of the lower price bracket. However, there were rumors circling that the tax exemption was going to be recalled. That would have meant returning to the higher price of an electric vehicle that not many would buy here.

Electric Vehicle Imports And Tax

It seems that the government has decided to retain the sales tax exemption. This means that people can continue to buy them without worrying about paying a high sales tax on the vehicle. Already the registration on an electric vehicle is quite low, thus this only adds plus points to it. No matter what angle we look at it from, it is beneficial in the long run.

The sales tax imposition was going to be 17% on these vehicles and we are glad that it is not to be. These vehicles are safe from such a tax, at least till 2026. By 2022, more exemptions are said to occur within companies as well. They want to make the vehicles as affordable as possible.

A Clean Energy Era

It is good to promote thinking about the new energy era. The coming time is going to be based around electric vehicles more than combustion engine ones. These engines may be becoming history but there is still time for a complete transition. Instead of a rapid one, it is going to be gradual. After all, each and every one of us wants to be a part of this new era that is approaching.

The Sales Tax Exemption stands and it should. It is a way to promote an electric vehicle sale and its future impact. People would want to buy such vehicles when they are not full of heavy taxation. Who knows, maybe Pakistan will be one of the developers of electric vehicles on a massive scale, sometime in the future.
